Due to some patient and excellent police work by both agencies, Cline who has been eluding law enforcement for several months, will now have to face her charges. Cline was booked into the Kaufman County Jail in Texas at 7:30 AM on February 10th, and will be held without bond in Kaufman County Jail awaiting extradition back to Yavapai County.
This should be a message to those who would victimize the residents of our county. Cline chose to target the vulnerable and trusting members of our community. The message is this: Anyone who targets the elderly/vulnerable of our county(the treasures of our community), will be relentlessly investigated, pursued, and brought to justice.
